Battletoads couldn't JUST be a beat-em-up, no sir. It needed to also be a platformer, a racing game, a puzzle game, all kinds of things blended into this action title . . . and be terrible on all of these counts!

Battletoads is notorious for its difficulty curves that made it infamous in the gamingsphere. And it IS tough, but it also just isn't fun to clear due to how unfair it all feels. Granted, a lot of games around this time were full of obtuse design like Battletoads. It's probably a miracle that Nintendo gave Rare a shot at one of their most popular IPs after this.
